[Followups, if any, to comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] I'm looking for a copy of a utility that was listed in PC Magazine's "Productivity" column back in November of 1988. The utility, CONFIG.CTL, allows you to alter your config.sys lines on bootup. Anyway, before I type this sucker in, I thought I would ask if anyone has done so already. If you happen to have a copy of the source, please mail it to me at tim@attdso.att.com. BTW, I quote from the article: "These programs can be copied but are copyrighted and are made available only for noncommercial use. You may make copies for others as long as no charge is involved . . ." So, I think what I am requesting is legal use. Thanks! tim -- Tim J Ihde INTERNET: tim@attdso.att.com (201) 898-6687 UUCP: att!attdso!tim

It contains CONFIG.CTL (with source) and other stuff from that particular PC Magazine number. Petri Hartoma P.S.

It is in directory >PD1:<MSDOS.PCMAG> named as VOL7N20.ARC. I can't ftp from here unfortunately. However, one person mailed me this path to it and another fellow (who wanted it as well) ftp'd it down and then mailed it to me. At least two other copies have arrived as well (Thanks guys!). >P.S. Hope You haven't typed that sucker yet! ;-) If so, I'm sure I would still be debugging it . . . BTW, this is a great program. (I doubt I am unusual in having at least four different frequently used config.sys files.) Thanks to all who helped out; if anybody else wants it and can't ftp I'm willing to return the favor and mail it to them. tim -- Tim J Ihde INTERNET: tim@attdso.att.com (201) 898-6687 UUCP: att!attdso!tim

The path for att users is: arpa!vm1.nodak.edu!listserv Other Usenet readers may reach that server through any backbone site that is also on the Internet (see my signature below for a partial list). Examples: uunet!vm1.nodak.edu!listserv ucbvax!vm1.nodak.edu!listserv ames!vm1.nodak.edu!listserv Please don't say "I can't get files from SIMTEL20" until you have checked paths to that server or until you have sent netmail to me at the address below to determine the best path to the server.
